Pondimin

Pondimin (fenfluramine), with Redux, is one of the two components making up the diet drug popularly know as Fen Phen. Medical studies have linked the active ingredient in Pondimin to serious heart valves problems including regurgitant disease of the mitral, aortic, or tricuspid valves. As many as 30% of patients evaluated showed abnormal EKG's, even when they had no symptoms. Some patients required surgery to repair heart valve damage caused by the drugs. In 1997, the FDA directed the maker, American Home Products, to withdraw Pondimin from the market.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else’s fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
